Mission Mission

Always wanted to get together with your neighbors and some “Dolores Park community leaders” over wine and snacks to see some presentations and mingle? Dolores Park Works has just the event for you:

Please join Dolores Park Works and five Dolores Park community leaders for a causal, friendly mix of Dolores Park talk, wine and hors d’oeuvres this Thursday, February 24th from 7 to 9pm at The Summit 780 Valencia Street.

Our event features five high-speed presentations by charismatic Dolores Park heavy hitters who will inform, dispel and entertain in five minute bursts as 20 slides auto-advance every 15 seconds. Our Ignite-inspired presentation format is proven to be exhilarating for the audience and speaker.

- Scott Wiener, San Francisco District 8 Supervisor
- Eric Andersen, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Area Manager
- Nancy Madynski, Friends of Dolores Park Playground Chair
- Meredith Thomas, Neighborhood Parks Council Chair
- Peter Lewis, Mission Dolores Neighborhood Association Director
- Rob Lord, Dolores Park Works Chair

Sounds dynamic! Full details are here.

RSVP and invite your friends via the event’s official Facebook page.

POW POW!

Hey pal-of-ours Gabrielle Barber, how was your trip to that new pop-up deli?

The place was jumpin’ at 11 a.m. on Saturday – no doubt the result of the Gilt City coupon offered last week, giving diners half off their brunch or lunch purchase, including a pound of luscious, chocolatey babka to boot. The crowd was more Marin than Mission – again, Gilt City – but everyone seemed to be enjoying their hot matzoh ball soup, thick-cut corned beef and pastrami sandwiches on rye, and bagels & lox.

What’dja have?

Me and my guy pal ordered the Semitic Breakfast Sandwich: corned beef scramble on house-made rye toast with horseradish sauce and arugula. We also got coffee and our own personal pounds of babka, which we attacked with plastic knives as soon as we got a table.

Yum! Too bad about the crowd, but maybe it’ll local up in the weeks to come as coupons expire.

Thanks, Gabrielle!

Unattended! And methinks that’s unsafe, and that they don’t have the authority to do that, and that they were probably grabbing a slice at EFNY. Not very secure, Armada!

Yeah, it’s a rock dove.

Burgertime! Mr. P sure looks like he’s in bad shape though

You can play this game at Thieves on 14th, which is now open during the day!

Cheese rules. Sorry, vegans.

Or was it something else?

Anyways, I like cake a lot too.

It’s a dead cock.

(Thanks, Lizzy!)

Gnarly!
